wow, I thought I had read all your Black Woods stories but I had missed this last one, and I love how it ended with tangled vines, like my own poem refers to!! It's very interesting how we all have our own little cultures within the bigger culture of being americans. It is admirable, Caleb, because one day we could very well be back to having to be hunters of our own food again. I can see a future where it is possible!! soupmail.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. What State/City is this? I really enjoyed this glimpse of life in the days when men taught their boys / girls the basics of survival. For me, I fished and hunted with my dad, uncles and boy cousins. I was the only girl!

Made sure I read the intro first before coming here....WOW...what a significant experience....That was the day your father saw the man in you! I can see why this is etched so deeply in your memory, my dear. A beautiful write from a beautiful soul...

This part of your childhood makes me think of my own childhood.I guess its every child dream to make their parents proud.It seems the black lake woods still haunt you with beautiful memories shared with your dad and the dissapearing of the b.l.forest is like stealing part of your childhood away.Sweet sad nostalgia.You re a great story teller Caleb..Enjoyed your read.
